Manja Ristic - Nothing Has To Happen, Fortress Europe (excerpt) by élan vital recordings published on 2022-03-14T19:01:19Z vital022 2022 élan vital recordings Manja Ristic / Toni Dimitrov - Dystopian 001 1. Manja Ristic - Nothing Has To Happen, Fortress Europe 2. Toni Dimitrov - Against Civilization 🏴 'Dystopian 001' is split release between the sound artists Manja Ristić and Toni Dimitrov, and it is part of the new 'Dystopian series', showcasing a more abstract, darker, obscure and politically infused side of the sound of élan vital artist roster. Inspired by everyday life in the last several years living in realized dystopian visions and darkest predictions, the sound on this series will be the soundtrack for our daily dystopian reality. We are all aware that the future of our civilization is not bright, but that doesn't mean we are not living in an exciting epoch. 🏳️ Part one brings two longer pieces, presenting the dark side of the mystical long form experimentations by the Serbian violin and field recordings diva Manja Ristić and the latest field recordings experiments of the sound art naturalist Toni Dimitrov. Through this joint release the artists are trying to explore the potential for change of the society, resulting in a mature, expressive and complex album. Composed and arranged by Manja Ristić & Toni Dimitrov Mastering LaPlant Studio Belgrade Cover drawings by Dorian Dimitrov Design by Toni Dimitrov Release date 27th March 2022 https://elanvital.bandcamp.com/album/dystopian-001 Genre Ambient
